Dr Al Mohler of Southern Baptist Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, offers a Christian response
Our response to the transgender movement must begin with Scripture.
Scripture treats what the transgender movement discards as the “binary system of gender” as part of the goodness of God’s created order. Genesis 1 and 2 present our embodiment as male or female as essential to our self-identity not only as humans who constitute a human family, but as individuals. Every individual is made in God’s image. As Denny Burk rightly argues, “We dare not miss that God created sexual differentiation. The terms male and female are not cultural constructs. They are not social roles foisted upon mankind by the accretion of culture and tradition. Male and female designate the fundamental distinction that God has embedded in the very biology of the race.”[1]
